"Mantle Aims at Right-Field Sky" by John Drebinger, The New York Times, May 26, 1963"Mantle just missed by a matter of about six feet ... Just six feet higher and he would have made it.It was the second time he had driven a ball against that facade under the roof. The first was on May 30, 1956, off Pedro Ramos, then with the Senators."__________________________________________How far might it have gone had it not hit the top of the Stadium facade

The maximum distance a batted baseball can travel on a fly is about 500 feet. Mantle's 1953 565 foot homer in Washington has been debunked for decades. Five hundred feet is the max. Until now.

Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred, the A-Rod Slayer, got his promotion to succeed Allan Huber "Bud" Selig because of his persecution of Alex Rodriguez for performance enhancing drugs (PED) even though Rodriguez never failed a drug test. What better cover for changing the physics of baseball than to have Manfred do it?

on pace to shatter the all-time single season home run record in 2017 by over 300 homers...an obvious explanation is a juiced ball...

Micheal Lichtman ...

... it seems pretty clear based on this article that the ball was changed, it was changed intentionally and that those changes are the primary reason we are seeing a record number of homers.
